Albany

Former Rensselaer County rape defendant John Halacy is now charged with his younger brother and another teenager with the burglary of a home in Colonie on Thanksgiving.

Raymond Halacy, 19, and Andre Beverly, 18, pleaded not guilty Monday as they were arraigned on an unsealed indictment accusing the pair of breaking into a home on Haswell Road on Nov. 28.

John Halacy, 24, and the pair are charged with second-degree burglary, a felony carrying up to 15 years in prison.

Albany County prosecutors allege the teenagers and John Halacy illegally entered the home, broke a door and stole a television, guitars, computers and video games totaling an estimated $10,000 in property.

Raymond Halacy and Beverly appeared in court Friday before Judge Stephen Herrick, but the arraignment was adjourned until Monday. The two were arrested in Broward County in Florida by members of the U.S. Marshals Service.

All three are being held in the Albany County jail without bail. John Halacy rejected a plea deal Friday that would have required he serve five years in prison.

More Information

Rape charges against John Halacy were dropped in November after the Rensselaer County district attorney's office did not file a waiver of his right to a speedy trial.
